    Setup to collect no-show fees IMO. New patient and I have have 3 appointments, 2 "no-shows"…read more They have 2 systems. One is a patient portals that you use to do medical records and account stuff, that also has links and stuff for televisits. They don't use this one for televisits, they send out an email with a link to another portal that does televisits and billing/payments. Good luck getting anywhere with their office trying to resolve this. Then on the proper tele-visit portal the Dr did not show up or respond to chat messages. I got another no-show. This is been a terrible experience from this provider. Do not recommend.

    Why would anyone give this life saving healthcare group a negative review is beyond me. This is one…read moreof the best medical experiences I have ever had in my life. If you are an addict, want real help, and you have committed your self to change then CRAMAHealth will save your life and get you back on track to being you. Zero relapses, people who really care, and I am going on 3 years. Honestly anyone that gave CRAMAHealth a negative review is because they are not yet committed to change their situation and are just looking for another source of drugs. Well yes, CH is certainly not going to support that lifestyle and your unhealthy self destructive habits. If you want real help, from people who really care --- I have never had an experience better than CARMA! Change your life, if not for you, for your family, friends, children, parents, all relationships, everything. Thank you CRAMA for being amazing and a life changing and saving experience!!!' I am beyond grateful.

    I am so happy that I trusted the latest 2019-2020 reviews for this Doctor because as Michael G…read more said: "Dr. Weiss is the man!" The older reviews from 2016 seemed very outdated and in my experience, they were the complete opposite of how my time went there. Now let me tell you a little about my experience during my visit to Psychiatry Austin. As soon as I walked in, Chris at the front desk greeted me and was very helpful with getting my insurance information in order. As soon as I was done with all of my paperwork I was immediately seen by Dr. Weiss which is honestly pretty rare with the other doctors I have been too. With other doctors, I will be waiting in the waiting area for 20-30 minutes before being seen. During my appointment, Dr. Weiss knew so much about the treatment options for ADHD and he went above and beyond by making sure that I really understood every option available to me. In all of the doctors that I have seen this is by far the BEST psychiatrist that I have ever seen. With all this being said, I highly recommend Dr. Weiss especially for your treatment of ADHD. Pro Tip: The office is located at the end of the parking lot and make sure to look for the letter D.

    It turns out the list of clinical psychiatrists in Austin is fairly short. I reached out to a few…read moredifferent offices in the area and Psychiatry Austin was the quickest and friendliest to respond. On my first visit it was clear that this is not some massive healthcare conglomerate with multiple levels of staff and a hustling bustling office...it's Chris the pleasant and responsive office manager and Dr. Weiss, whom I came to quickly realize is the type of person who has truly dedicated his career to improving the mental health of his patients. He explained drug interactions and potential outcomes to me better than any psychiatrist I've seen before. It's clear that he loves the science side of things just as much as the clinical conversations and is enthusiastic in educating along the way. For those that prefer a calmer office setting and more 1:1 personal interaction with staff, this is the spot.

    My experience began with being told by the phone intake person, I would be placed in the less…read moreintense program (aka IOP -- Intensive Outpatient Program). Billing called me, and I was told what I would be charged on my first day in the program. When I came for in person enrollment, I was told I would need to attend the more intense program (aka PHP -- Partial Hospitalization Program). I was told I would be required to attend that for 3-5 days, and then I would be moved down to IOP. When I arrived for treatment the following day, I was told I would be required to complete PHP (14 days) and then I would attend IOP. I had to get billing to call me to discuss the new rate. No one had told billing they had changed my program. Billing told me this lack of notification was a common problem. This was being done AFTER my first day of treatment and only because I reached out. On top of this, they knew I am a Mom with child in school and had a pickup schedule to deal with. They knew, in advance, I would have to miss one hour of the program a day. They also had no availability to offer me their advertised service of nuerofeedback therapy due to my schedule. I also had to miss treatment time for my personal psychologist and psychiatrist appointments because I was in treatment all of the regular times I could do those. The Meadows had me do my personal psychiatrist and psychologist appointments virtually during treatment times. If I had been in IOP, I could have attended every minute of programmed treatment, received nuerofeedback therapy, and attended my regularly scheduled appointments on my off time. However I feel, The Meadows knew this way they got payment for the entire program without actually needing to provide it. Insurance would pay as long as I was on site at least half of the day, which means, they got paid for the hour each day I couldn't attend as well as the few hours a week my outside providers offered me care while in The Meadows facility. My therapists RARELY started the day or the start after a break on time. The Clinical Director came in to speak with us to tell us to be sure to be present because they seemed to be getting more and more peer review requests from insurances lately, and he didn't know why. I can tell them why! My story should alarm any insurance company or self pay patient. The Nurse Practitioner there was not extremely helpful. She had the attitude of "I know what I'm doing. You should just trust me." I came to her one morning, as she was walking in, with a concern. My regular psychiatrist had just gone into early labor that morning, and her admin had asked me to please follow up with the NP of my program. The NP yelled at me, and walked away. I left for the day upset and working on finding another doctor to help me. The two doctors I called told me to go to an ER, but I knew it wasn't an ER situation. I just needed to be seen ASAP. After I repeatedly called the front desk, the NP called me back and told me the reason she hadn't wanted to follow up was that she had seen me the previous day. She knew I "was fine." AND, to be fair, I was "fine." She did recommend a medication change, but was argumentative about providing lab work to support the need for the medication change. She claimed the labs were not reliable, but refused to tell me why. Once I did press her, she did give me a reason and told me to research it myself. I did! AND these particular labs CAN most certainly be unreliable, but not for any of the reasons she laid out to me. I question her competency. AND her bedside manner is awful! If you are a person who is willing to "trust blindly," she will probably work for you, but I want reasons and research presented to me when "trusting" a doctor with my health. The first week in the program definitely gave me some helpful group times and gave me the accountability and safety I needed. However, as the program "dragged on," I realized between the fact that I was no longer willing to see the NP, all the "wasted" time, and the fact that because of my time schedule not lining up with the program's schedule I was not receiving all of the treatment from the PHP program, this program was not for me. I presented my safety plan as well as plans for follow up care to the treatment team. The treatment team did not feel my plan was intensive enough, so I chose to discharged myself AMA (Against Medical Advice) and follow through with my personal safety plan and follow up care. I know good mental health care is extremely hard to find in Texas. I have no outpatient programs (within the last eight years) in which to compare this, so maybe this is the best you can get? But this was not an acceptable solution for me. It kept me safe for the week I needed it! If you NEED someplace to help keep you accountable and safe, this WILL work! Be vigilant about evaluating whether The Meadows is helping or keeping you in treatment to receive payment from you and/or your insurance.

    These stars are for Erie the Director of the Austin Branch and Kristy the Admissions Director…read more Thank you. You are in the business of saving lives. You saved mine. Thank you for fighting for me. Thank you for standing up for me. It healed something in me that I didn't even know was there. The most ironic part? Officially, I was never even a client of the The Meadows. I was trying to on-board and the psychiatrist who reviewed my screening declined to treat me across the board at all The Meadows facilities. Was he really trying to protect me? Was he trying to protect himself, The Meadows? I hope it was both. Only he really knows. I did not feel protected by him. It did not feel like a gentle let down. He seemed annoyed. He made a comment like of course he could decline me as a patient, like I must be stupid for not understanding that. I write this review to thank Erie and Kristy and also to warn others you may get declined for treatment if you have really bad trauma. Getting declined and rejected (that's what it is) made me want to die. Having Erie and Kristy fight for me, made me want to live. The Meadows referred me out to Menninger in Houston. Unfortunately at this time, when it comes to attachment, hospitals, IOP's, PHP's, trying to trust, I don't think I have anymore "stickiness" left in me.

    Please avoid Dr. Nathan Pekar if you have any interest in living a quality life. He has been among…read morethe worst doctor's that I have ever had the misfortune to have dealt with for the following reasons: - Rushes the appointment - General disinterest - Does NOT fill your prescriptions In my initial appointment with him, he attempt to make an effort at listening to me however the entire appointment felt extremely rushed and he made nearly every attempt to end it within 10-15 minutes. Following this, it was nearly impossible to get a prescription filled by him to the point that in the last two months, my prescriptions were filled by other doctor's (despite significant efforts including calls, online messages in the portal, and online messages on the Victory Medical Klarna messenger ranging from 10 days up to day of). The staff was also deeply unhelpful, letting me know that in order to get my prescription refilled, I should use the online portal, but if I sent in my prescription request earlier than 5 business days, then it would be ignored. If I sent in later than 5 business days, it was also likely to be ignored. And when I did send it in 5 business days, it was still ignored. I have left several online messages, following up each day, in an attempt to just get a response, and in the past few months I have received none. And god forbid you have multiple prescriptions, because Dr. Pekar will maybe fill one prescription and completely ignore the others. They also look to charge your insurance as much as possible. By state law, practices can but are not required to drug test you for controlled prescriptions. Most doctors range somewhere between once to twice a year. Dr. Pekar will force you into doing a drug test EVERY month. So, not only is he an uncaring and lazy doctor, he also wants to take as much money from you and your insurance by pushing needless tests on you as often as possible. In sum, please do NOT see Dr. Pekar if you want quality care.

    Have been in Austin for 2 years and have tried several primary care doctors. Was dreading having to…read morego to another but knew I needed to find somewhere. From the minute I stepped foot the entire staff was welcoming and friendly, made the entire experience fantastic. Dr. Pekar himself makes you feel like you've known him forever and has fantastic medical advice and really listens to your concerns. The facility is lovely, clean, and has loads of parking (something I always worry about) and there is a pharmacy for convenience right downstairs in case you need the prescription directly following your appointment! Highly recommend!

I was blessed with a scholarship to Second Chances Sober Living. Jeff Lewis was informed prior to me moving in I had no food and would potentially need help before I could get to a place of some income. I was greeted by the house with open arms and some people offered me food. Late at night I made a mistake I take responsibility for. I began eating a small amount of food which I planned on talking about in the house meeting. I was definitely going to replace more than I eat. I was awakened the next morning by David who runs the house. Very nice man but a little pissy giving me the news I had to move out. Not even 24 hours I was there!! I attempted to call Jeff Lewis he not only was aggressive but stated I need to get out as quickly as possible because the house is pissed. I stated no one was going to do anything to me. He insured me I need to get out very quickly because his words "if I was you I would get the fu_k out of there as quickly as possible before housemates get home. I have been sober for over 3 1/2 years before with the guidance of the 12 steps. What I learned was love, tolerance, integrity, forgiveness amongst many other quality traits. Jeff practiced non of the qualities of AA. I know what Jeff is. He is that guy that is a smooth talker and loved in meetings but inside is unmanageable. He bullied me, shamed me while I am already full of it. I was literally shaking with fear. I haven't shook in decades. I knew what was in store for me countless nights of homelessness and hopelessness. This was my one shot to get my life together. Again it is my error although it is not as I used or put anyone else in danger. He sent a group text at 7:40 in the morning stating I was eating peoples food right now, which wasn't true. I was sleeping. He did this to get the house hyped up to potentially attack me with physical violence. I later learned that his wife is on the board which oversees this home. What a conflict of interest as well as convenient. I will continue to review Jeff Lewis for the phony he is.
